Ep 248 Mistakes Are Data — Separating Identity from Performance

In this episode, we explore one of the biggest mindset shifts athletes can make: learning to separate identity from performance. Athletes, coaches, and competitors will learn how to stop personalizing mistakes, recover confidence faster, and turn errors into information instead of emotional collapse.
